Introduction
A delicious, colorful, and comforting dinner classic featuring tender bell peppers stuffed with a savory filling of seasoned ground beef, rice, onions, tomatoes, and topped with melted Mexican blend cheese.
Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with garlic-infused olive oil.
Step 2
Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a meat masher as it cooks.
Step 3
Prepare the bell peppers: slice off the tops, remove the seeds and membranes. If needed, slice a tiny portion off the bottom so they stand flat. Dice the leftover pepper trimmings to add to the filling later.
Step 4
Dice half of a medium yellow onion.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Ingredients List
Important Notes
When trimming the bottoms of the peppers to help them stand, be careful not to cut too deep, otherwise the filling will leak out.
Do not drain the canned diced tomatoes; the liquid keeps the meat and rice stuffing moist during baking.
Using different colored bell peppers provides an appealing visual presentation and adds subtle variations in sweetness.
To make the pepper skins softer, you can rub them with olive oil before placing them in the baking dish.
